'''Ridley''' is an area featured in ''[[Metroid (game)|Metroid]]'' (known as '''Mini-Boss Hideout II'''), ''[[Metroid: Zero Mission]]'', and ''[[Super Metroid]]'' as a part of the planet [[Zebes]]. It is named after the space dragon [[Ridley]]. It is in the lower part of [[Norfair]] and is deep below the surface of Zebes.


Unlike the original ''Metroid'', in ''Metroid: Zero Mission'' the entrance to this area is blocked by an ensnared Imago that must be defeated before she may access this area. In ''Super Metroid'', [[Samus Aran|Samus]] must have both the [[Space Jump]] and the [[Gravity Suit]] to reach this area as it is blocked by a deep pool of lava.
'''Ridley''' (also '''Ridley's Lair''') is an area in [[Norfair]].


Lava is common in this area in ''Metroid'' and ''Metroid: Zero Mission'', while it is filled with a powerful acid capable of damaging Samus even with the Gravity Suit equipped. Most rooms may be accessed without the [[Varia Suit]] equipped in ''Zero Mission'', unlike ''Super Metroid'' where Samus will take damage in most rooms if both the Varia Suit and Gravity Suit (the Gravity Suit maintains the Varia Suit’s shielding against extreme temperatures) are deactivated.

In the original Metroid, Ridley's Lair (also known as Mini-Boss Hideout II) is made up of several long corridors, and there are a lot of areas where it is easy for Samus to take a one-way drop. Many of the walls are a bright pink color. Common enemies found are Zeebos, Holtz, Violas, Multiviolas, and Dessegeegas. Lava is commonly found in this area like other rooms in Norfair. In order to reach this area, Samus needs Morph Ball and bombs.

Metroid: Zero Mission[edit | edit source]

In Metroid: Zero Mission, the most notable change is that in order to get into Ridley's Lair, Samus will have to defeat an Imago that is trapped in some vines. Inside Ridley's Lair, most rooms may be accessed without the Varia Suit equipped. Additionally, in order to get to Ridley himself, Samus must obtain one of the Unknown Items. Defeating Ridley does not grant Samus any major power-ups unlike Kraid, but there is an Energy Tank to the left of his boss room just like in the original and in Super Metroid.

Super Metroid[edit | edit source]

The entrance to Ridley in Super Metroid

While there isn't a Ridley's Lair by title, there is a designated area for him located within Norfair.

In order to access his lair, Samus must have both the Space Jump and the Gravity Suit to get inside, as it is blocked by a deep pool of lava. Ridley's Lair has a lot of the acidic lava that will damage Samus even with the Gravity Suit on. Additionally, the landscape consists of a lot of ancient ruins.
